Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground beef (90% lean)
- 50 grams whole grain breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 50 grams oats
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, whole grain breadcrumbs, low-sodium soy sauce, and an egg.
Add the minced garlic, finely chopped onion, grated carrot, and oats to the beef mixture, stirring well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Mix in the chopped parsley, black pepper, and dried oregano. Use your hands to ensure that all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into patties approximately 2 cm thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Cook the rissoles in batches to not overcrowd the pan—cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
Once done, remove the rissoles from the pan and place them on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the heart-healthy rissoles warm, accompanied by a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
